The story behind the bottle.
Gardenia 2021 by Zara, launched in 2021, is an Oriental Floral fragrance that balances the sweet and powdery notes of vanilla with a soft floral heart. The composition opens with raspberry and bergamot, creating a fresh and fruity top note that gives way to jasmine, adding a layer of delicate sweetness. The base of vanilla and musk provides warmth and depth, making this scent both comforting and alluring.
Apply Gardenia 2021 sparingly; its powdery base notes develop richness over time. Two light spritzes are enough to capture the essence without overpowering. Best worn during cooler evenings when the warm, sweet notes can fully unfold.
